Star Struck Style

I’m in the midst of a Mars return. The red planet returns to its own position in the natal chart about once every two years. While it can have some positive effects, it’s the negative effects of the transit that really get to me. Right now, I really wish the worst for anyone who has the nerve to get in my way.

I’m not an angry person, but I can be self-righteous — I have a Capricorn sun and a Cancer moon, after all. But I also have civilized Libra as my rising sign, and both Venus in Mars in frosty, detached Aquarius. I suppose that makes me good at keeping my feelings to myself. I’m able to take a step back whenever I’m feeling combative, so I rarely succumb to my worst impulses.

However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t fantasize about the worst amongst us getting what they deserve. Right now, I can’t get through a news article or a social media post without wondering what the world would be like if all the right-wing assholes dropped dead tomorrow.

It’s not a healthy situation, so I’m going to continue to extricate myself from this situation as much as I can. I deleted Threads from my devices about a week ago. The Meta-owned competitor to X has become just another venue for rage-baiting, and I refuse to take the bait. My new year’s resolution was to find joy in my own little world, and it’s much easier for me to do that if I shut out all the people who seem to get off making everyone else’s time on this planet miserable.

So, I’m currently focused on myself and what makes me happy. The rest of you would have to fuck up the world pretty badly to fuck up my life because I’ve got a lot of good things going on at the moment. I’m healthy, happy and optimistic about what my future holds. I could be the last man alive on this planet, and I’d still feel the same way, just as long as I didn’t have to watch the rest of you engage in futile battles over money, power and what you have the nerve to call “values.”

Thankfully, this is short-lived transit for me, and just as Mars moves past this conjunction, it forms another one with my natal Venus. It’s likely that I’ll be in a much more pleasant state of mind in a week from now. Until then, just stay out of my way, and I’ll stay out of yours, okay?
